Haven't had time to run anything for awhile and the machine ran flawlessly when I last used it. It's an OpenBuilds 1515. Everything is running fine except the Z-axis. It's not the motor as I swapped in a spare (powered down) and then tried again, but every time I jog the Z, it stutters and barely moves. I was running the latest software and tried rolling back, I uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh version, I cleared the EEPROM and re-setup the machine with stock settings and still the Z-axis is stuttering. At this point the only thing I can think of is somehow, the Z only got fried. Any ideas? SOLVED SEE BELOW
Contact on 3 of the 4 motor wires only: docs:blackbox-x32:faq-identify-motor-coils [OpenBuilds Documentation] - break somewhere along the way (loose terminal, damaged cable, etc)
